Wishes Do Come True

"Star light star bright, first star I see tonight..."

Can I just say that I love Disney. It has a special place in my heart, and since August 30th 2013, it has an even more special place in my heart.

*drum roll* I am now a bride to be! (insert squeal)  

Chris and I met my parents in Disney World to help my Mom with an event she coordinates, we spent nine days in the most magical place on Earth and let me tell you it was magical!

The firsts day in Magic Kingdom was spent showing Chris all the magical attractions and shows and later that evening Chris had it arranged to take me to Cinderella's castle for dinner. Which was simply delicious!  After dinner we met up with my parents, aunt, and little cousin to watch the Wishes Fireworks show in front of the castle.

(Note: It's hot and humid.)

While waiting for the fireworks to begin I  will admit I was becoming agitated with the heat and the extremely tall person who decided to stand right in front of me. Remember I am only 5ft! But once the show started I was zoned in to the presentation.

The following is the conversation Chris and I had during the firework show...

Chris: "Hey Stephanie I have to ask you a question."

Me: "What?"

Chris: *gets down on one knee* "Will you marry me?"

Me: "Are you serious!?"

Yes he was serious!! It was perfect every aspect of the moment! My Mom snapped photo after photo, my Dad's eyes were watery, my aunt and little cousin were bursting with smiles, it is by far my new favorite memory. I am so blessed to be able to plan my future with Chris and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us in this next chapter of our lives.

In short my blogs are now going to have a lot more to share with the planning process, and all the new and exciting things that are on the brink of happening! 

 "...a world of wishes,
A world where dreams come true.
So make a wish, see it through.
Dare to do what dreamers do..."

I am simply bursting with joy to share all the excitement with y'all!

It's Go Time.

Hello my name is Stephanie and I'm about to go crazy.

Can we all say time crunch?! Because I'm about to hit the ground running!

 This year I will be one of those "upper class-man." That's a scary thought! With this extra pressure added on I now have the responsibility of making sure my roomies and I have all that we need for our apartment. This obviously calls for a trip to IKEA right? Right! Put that on my list of things to do...

 As you can see above I broke down my month of August for you. My Mom is going in for her Lumpectomy with a Sentinel Node Biopsy. *cue jaw drop* On the 14th of August. Then the very next day my Father, boyfriend, (who is flying up from Arkansas) and I drive 8 hours to school to move me directly into my apartment. Upon many jokes of making my apartment look like a man cave, I have a day and a half  to unpack and set up before the freshman move in that following Saturday. Classes begin on August 28th! AND I leave on August 29th for Disney World!

Currently I am in the calm before the storm. But I can see it all on the horizon and in Hunter Hayes famous words "I wish I had a storm warning."
